I did it. I finished writing MIXED KNOTS and sent it off. It always seems to end the same way. Me glued to my seat doing a marathon session at the end. At least, this time it ended at the reasonable hour of nine o'clock instead in the wee hours of the morning of the next day.
I felt numb when I finally hit send on my computer. It took a day or so for it to sink in that I'd managed to finish it.
But it's not gone for long. I already heard back that I'll get the copy edit in a week or so.
I thought I'd suddenly have all this time to catch up on everything I let go. Ha! First of all, aside fro what I let go, there is so much else to do. I have the fist book in my new series to start work on. I have the first three chapters and the synopsis. I know the characters pretty well, even though they're new. And then there is the proposal I was working on.
I looked over what I had and was horrified to realize how bad it was. At least, I could recognize all the issues, but still I was not happy. But I already started over on it and I think I have hooked into the voice. I know all the characters already and can't wait to introduce them.
And then there's life. I haven't been to my gym class in what seems like forever -- probably a month. There is all the business stuff. Funny how the older I get, the more I'm working. My life is a crazy salad of different sorts of stuff. I wouldn't have it any other way.
And now it is off to Disneyland to see if Star Wars land looks any more promising the second time around.
